چکیده
Chronic exposure to environmental ultraviolet radiation (UVR) plays a key role both in photocarcinogenesis and induction of accelerated skin ageing. Sailors commonly experience a significant number of cutaneous problems, related to the exposure to environmental factors due to their working conditions. Among these factors, sun exposure is able to determine both acute and chronic skin damage, mostly linked to the effects of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation on epidermal and dermal structures. We report a case of sailor with cutis rhomboidalis nuchae, solar elastosis, actinic keratosis (AK), numerous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the head and trunk. Key wordS: ultraviolet, sailor, actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma

Prevalence of actinic skin lesions in patients with basal cell carcinoma of the head: a case-control study.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of actinic skin lesions in patients with basal cell carcinoma of the head. METHODS A case-control study was carried out. Cases were patients with primary, solid basal cell carcinoma of the head, less than two centimeters in diameter; and as controls, patients with other dermatoses. Constitutional and behavioral variables were analyzed, as well as actinic l...

متن کاملCutis RhomboidalisFaciei: An Early Sign of Solar Elastosis
Actinic elastosis also known as solar elastosis is a degenerative change in the dermis. It is caused due to chronic exposure to electromagnetic radiation most commonly solar radiation and can also be due to infrared radiation exposure [1] . UVB wavelength (290-320nm) most commonly leads to solar elastosis; however UVA (320400nm) and sometimes infrared radiation (>700nm) can also aggravate the c...
